Unexposed, Growing up in Lilly-White Littleton

Amanda Horvath
Des Moines, IA

I grew up in a city just outside of Denver that has a nickname of Lilly-White Littleton. I never realized how “white” it really was until it was pointed out. Then I realized how we had limited diversity. I grew up with little diversity, but I am aware of the racism that takes place all of the time. And I am trying everyday to expose myself to new cultures, beliefs, and ideas.
